Visiting Tibet feels less like another holiday and more like stepping into an entirely different world — one where snow-capped peaks, deep spiritual traditions, and a slower pace of life define the experience. Lhasa, the heart of Tibet, offers a unique blend of culture, faith, and stunning scenery. ⸻ 🌟 Overall Impression: Tibet is raw, spiritual, high-altitude, and visually jaw-dropping. The air is thin but the culture runs deep. It’s not a destination for everyone — but for those willing to brave the altitude and remoteness, it’s incredibly rewarding. ⸻ 🏙️ Lhasa Highlights: 1. Potala Palace (布达拉宫) The former winter residence of the Dalai Lama and the most iconic landmark of Tibet. Climbing up the steps at high altitude is tough, but the views and the spiritual atmosphere inside are unforgettable. Tip: Entry permits are limited daily — book well in advance. Photography is restricted inside. Pace yourself due to the altitude. ⸻ 2. Jokhang Temple (大昭寺) The holiest temple in Tibet, located in the heart of Lhasa’s old town. The energy here is palpable — Tibetan pilgrims prostrating in devotion, incense filling the air, and monks chanting softly. Tip: The surrounding Barkhor Street is great for souvenirs, people-watching, and soaking up local culture. Bargain politely at market stalls. ⸻ 3. Barkhor Street (八廓街) The bustling old quarter around Jokhang Temple. Shops, tea houses, street food, and an endless stream of pilgrims walking clockwise around the temple. It feels authentic and lively, but prepare for crowds. ⸻ 4. Sera Monastery (色拉寺) Known for the unique monk debating sessions, where monks challenge each other with philosophical questions in an animated, theatrical style. Fascinating to watch, even if you don’t understand Tibetan. Tip: The debates usually happen in the afternoon — check timing with your guide. ⸻ 🌄 Outside Lhasa (Recommended if time allows): • Yamdrok Lake (羊卓雍措) — Stunning turquoise high-altitude lake, about 2 hours from Lhasa. One of the most beautiful spots in Tibet. • Namtso Lake (纳木措) — Another sacred lake, even higher than Yamdrok. The views are surreal, but the altitude is challenging. #Lhasa #Tibet #Potalapalace #yamdrokelake #karolaglacier #exploreChina #bucketlist #instatravel #travelholic #travelgram #exploretheworld #beautifuldestination #architecture #nature #iphone14promax #iphonephotography #西藏 #拉萨

The InterContinental Lhasa Paradise Hotel in Tibet is one of the worst decorated 4- and 5-star hotels I have stayed in worldwide, barely better than the hotel in the Cuban resort of Barra de Llo. If you look at it from a distance, there's nothing to complain about, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to use all the adjectives to praise it. I believe you can see the grandeur and luxury in the pictures (Pictures 1 to 13), but the details are terrible (Pictures 14 to 20). The management level is also unsatisfactory. Breakfast is divided into areas according to membership level, but in fact, you can sit anywhere you want, and the restaurant staff does not check it. I am really speechless about the level of decoration. How did it pass the acceptance? InterContinental Hotel has no decoration standards? But considering that the house price is less than 1,200 yuan, despite so many dissatisfactions, I can still accept it. If it is higher, I will feel it is not worth it. #ChinaTravel#Tibet#Lhasa#InterContinentalHotel#Five-starHotel#Cost-effectiveHotel#HotelAccommodation#HotelIntroduction#HotelRecommendation#HotelExperienceOfficer

#Jiqu Garden Restaurant #Food Guide #Relax #Lhasa This is a hidden restaurant located within the hotel, serving Tibetan specialities and Nepalese dishes. The price is reasonable and there are many local Tibetan friends having tea and gathering there. The food quality is also very good and the environment is quiet and beautiful. It is a rare quiet place in the bustling city of Lhasa. 👉Recommended: Beef Patties
